well well well
after a lot of mucking around, questioning and more questioning today we had the motor running:D:D:D
we all still have smiles on our faces. a mate from 2 blocks away heard the sound and went for a walk to find out where the hell it was coming from, anyway he rocked up knocking on the rollerdoor with a smile on his face, trying to work out what on earth it was.
i think after all of the mucking around and sratching of heads, it was definately worth hearing it run for the very fist time since its rebuild.
i mean hey it may not idle under 4000rpm, it may suck up the fuel, it may stall whenever it feels but hey, its our motor and we built it and i think thats a prettty good achievement :D:D
anyway i will take some pics tomorrow during the day hopefully to show ya's how it came up
a special thanks to ken mclean for the stand, and also a thanks to fellow forum members who have helped out
ps RET sorry if its in the wrong section, i didnt know whether to put it here or in rants raves and dummy spits
Well done Darcy, what cam specs did you end up settling for? Can you post the complete engine specs for us please?
engine specs as follows
40thou pistons
202 valves
shaved head (40thou)
twin carbies (not setup yet)
headers (on order as we speak, also are stainless)
porting of head
i think thats everything, but i may be forgetting something
ps: now it idles at 800rpm, and is pretty lumpy:):)
wait forget cam specs: Â it is a 40/80 cam with a duration total of 238
Onya, Darcy. ;D ;D Stir the neighbours.
